Ma ne zalim ja
ni za jedan tren
ni za jedan minut
s tobom proveden

Ma ne zalim ja
i necu nikada
srce moje samo
tebi pripada

Ref. 2x
Zale godine
zale za nama
jedno drugom smo
jos u venama

Zale godine
nismo uspjeli
nismo umjeli
kao ostali

Ma ne zalim ja
sto sam volio
niti sto ti nisam
tad odolio

I ne zalim ja
svoje uzdahe
ni sve poslije tebe
teske korake

Ref. 4x

Zale godine

Esad Merulić's 'Zale godine' stands as a defining work within the Yugoslav folk revival movement of the 1990s. Recorded during a period when traditional Balkan melodies were being reimagined for contemporary audiences, the track exemplifies the genre's fusion of acoustic instrumentation and poetic storytelling. As one of Merulić's most celebrated compositions, the song reflects the cultural nostalgia and regional identity that characterized much of the era's music. Its enduring popularity stems from its authentic vocal delivery and the evocative atmosphere it creates, cementing Merulić's status as a pivotal figure in modern Yugoslav folk music.
